DEBORAH GOODRICH ROYCE began her career as an actress, starring as Silver Kane on the ABC soap, All My Children. She went on to star in feature films such as April Fool’s Day and Just One of the Guys, TV movies such as Return to Peyton Place and The Deliberate Stranger, and series such as Beverly Hills 90210 and 21 Jump Street. She was the story editor at Miramax Films in New York. Now an author, Deborah has written several novels-Reef Road, a Publishers Weekly’s Bestseller, was named one of the Best Books of 2023 by Kirkus Reviews, an Indie Next Pick by the American Bookseller’s Association, and one of Good Morning America’s Top 15 for January 2023. Ruby Falls won the Zibby Award for Best Plot Twist in 2021, and Finding Mrs. Ford was hailed by Forbes, Book Riot, and Good Morning America’s “best of” lists in 2019.
Viveca Stevenson has it all: a handsome and successful husband, an adorable ten-year-old son, and a coastal dream house in Greenwich, Connecticut, the afterglow of the film career she’s left behind. But when a threatening letter arrives—from a man she does not remember—it cracks open a part of her past she thought was buried for good…
A terrifying chain of events is set in motion, forcing Viveca to confront what happened on a shattering night in high school when she had a different name, a different face, a different voice. Who is the man contacting her now and was he really the best boy on her most famous film? Why can’t she remember him—or that night?
